River Water Pollution Control Based on Environmental Legislation and its Implementation aganist Pollution Deli River in Medan Connected with Integrated River Management System

Water pollution control is an inherent aspect of river management, and the attempt to address the problem is inextricably linked to river management systems' integrated approach. River water pollution control must be done in a multi-sectorial, upstream-downstream, quantity-quality, and long-term, environmentally sound (ecosystem conservation) manner, with the river basin (hydrological Territorial unit) serving as a management unit. The Deli River in Medan has a high pollution rate, which can be decreased and addressed by implementing a river management pattern in one unit of river basin, while adhering to the legal norms set forth in the current environmental legislation.
